The Turkey Is Safe

It's 10:30 p.m. and I've finally had the chance to sit down & rest since, last Wednesday, a week ago when the girls came down with sinus infections. Since then, we've been back to the doc this past Monday and then back again today. Alexis has been spilling her insides since she woke up this a.m. She is running a 102.7 temp and can hardly manage to keep anything down. Late this afternoon, I noticed she had not visited the potty since early in the a.m. So, I managed to get her to slowly sip on water until she produced for me. I did not want to have to take her to the ER to get IV fluids and botch this lovely evening before Thanksgiving. We are all sick. Therefore, I refuse we are not having Thanksgiving tomorrow. I'm simply too tired. I told Craig, I decline to go to the store, fight the shoppers, cut in front of shoppers with my cart and have them make snide remarks (out loud & under their breath) about how I cut them off. Because, then, I would have to follow them around the store and HAPHAZARDLY run into the back of their ankle with my cart and then repeatedly say how sorry I was. (My dear friend shared this scenario with me, you know, about running into the back of the person's ankle with your shopping cart because you accidentally cut in front of them with your shopping cart) Justice was served! This friend of mine will also be out shopping early on Black Friday. "Buyers beware!" Needless to say, I'm worn out and I will still be taking care of my three kids, Craig, Alexis & Londyn. So, Mr. Turkey, you are indeed safe at our house this year.
